This just reminded me that Phillip Brailsford is still alive, which completely ruined my day.

Miniatures of nearly anything are quite popular in Japan.

I have Gray's, Grant's, and Netter's atlases of anatomy.
Netter's is by far the best and most useful.

Reply to TIL Enya's music "Only Time" re-entered the Billboard Top 100 reaching number 43, thirteen years after the original release thanks to it being featured in Volvo's Epic Split commercial with Jean-Claude Van Damme by dont_mess_with_tx
Licensing your old music for just the right use can completely reinvigorate your career years or even decades later.
Just ask Kate Bush.

Reply to A study found that people perceive that robots are replacing human jobs at a greater rate than they actually are. Only 14% of workers say they’ve had their job replaced by a robot. Workers who had been supplanted by a robot estimated that 47% of all jobs have been lost to robots. by Brave_Cycle_8745
I wouldn't have even guessed it was at 14% yet, but it's also only getting started. I wouldn't be surprised if the number is up to 47% or higher within the next decade or two.

That's what I'm wondering as well, but it has to be the former as the latter would invariably result in death by starvation over the long term.

The surgeon I work for always says "the only minor surgery is something you do on someone else".

I recently found out that one of the clinics I work in was just sold. I wasn't given any of the details, but I can only assume the buyer is one of those private equity firms.
I'm quitting next month.

I mean Tom cashed out for like half a billion dollars when he sold MySpace though, so I bet he's feeling pretty good about how things ended up playing out for him.

As a former university lecturer myself, this is something I would absolutely expect the administration to take action over. I mean if you have six months worth of unanswered emails to your professor, that alone is enough to warrant administrative action.

Okay that makes this make a lot more sense.
I was gonna say the United States hasn't elected a woman to the Senate since 2018 so what's the big deal? But it's totally different if they haven't had a sitting female MP since 2020.
